There are 27 amendments to the US Constitution. However, only 17 of them qualify as "changes", because the first 10, collectively referred to as the "Bill of Rights", did not come with the Constitution itself. Since the ratification of the Constitution and Bill of Rights, only 17 amendments have been ratified
